Our Story.
SAVA was established in 2022, with a goal to unleash one million African businesses to regain control over their financial operations by providing them with innovative automation tools to supercharge their growth and enter global markets. By 2023, we’d secured full SARB approval and all our key licences in just six months, a testament to our team’s grit and focus. Today, we’ve partnered with Mastercard and Access Bank to power seamless, modern business payments.
Our proud partnership with Mastercard
"At Mastercard, we are dedicated to harnessing the power of partnerships and deploying transformative technology to build a sustainable future where everyone can thrive."
